    If you look on the debt board there's a sticky at the top which tells you how to post a statement of affairs, so people can make suggestions on your income and outgoings. Doesn't matter if you're not in debt, posters are happy to advise where you can start to make savings if you need to.
    Either pm a board guide and ask to have this post moved, or just start up a new one on the other forum.
    Hope that helps.

    Edit - if you want a bit of help in spending less on food each month, have a look at the old style board. They are a fount of knowledge on how to cut costs and make your money go further, and a very friendly bunch as well.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Plus you will find people with the right expertise to help on DebtFreeWannabes. The people here have other strengths which won't help so much with your problem.
